39 miles so far on this one after a 20+ year hiatus. 8.7 miles today out of 6 days since March 5th.

She's working just fine so far!

The indoor picture is pre-seat bag, frame pump and U-lock attachment.

P.S. I like my kick stand thank you Smile

Bet that bike rides good nice looking too.

Thanks guys and yes Surly LHT it does ride nice. Sometimes it seems like the steering is a bit sensitive but that may just be me from not riding for so long. Whatever it is it's a joy to ride!!

Well, sensitive steering can also depend on the bike you were used to. A little difference in geometry can lead to huge differences in handling.

LOL it was a Huffy Aerowind, got stolen in the late 80's and that's the last bike I owned till now.
